UNDER ARTILLERY FIRE.
AnnoyRnces to Which a Civilian Is Sub

tected by mischievous Cadets
 To the ordinary civilian who is not ac- customed to the sudden and vehement dis charge of artillery almost under their very nose, West Point at this interesting time of its year is a very startling locality. For peace- ful and harmless individual, pursuing calmly his way across the broad nve- nue which leads from the cade: build ings to the hotel, to be suddenly walked from pleasant revery by the internal din aroused by ihe discharge of heavy gun, and to simultaneously discover that bis un- protected person is the apparent mark for half dozen vicious looking field pieces. which follow their leader and explode with great energy and volumes of smoke, is the reverse of agreeable, and when those deadly weapons seem aimed with malice aforethought and intent to kill, the feeling is not in any way diminished.
 or course, he knows that the upright and eentlemanly cadets who man the guns have no personal grudge against him. and that they would feel rather sorry than otherwise were he to suddenly join his fathers on the wings of a particularly spirited shell. hut there isn't much time given him for the con sideration of this point There are the guns and there are the flasher and here come the bOoIns. and jerk goes his head, and this peace ful person, who hates carnage anyhow, gathers himself together and hies him with mere forcible vigor than grace of car- riage to the first shelter which presents itself, and then, with feeling of boiily security bliSSfully peTmeating his whole being, induc- ing him to contemplate the cadet with calmer consideration, he becomes aware that through an opening in the high growing hedge in front of the hotel bevy of highly amused young ladies are intently engaged in admirinS his forethought in putting tree between himself and the awful guns.
 His second discovery is more awful than the first The inference which he draws is that these smiling young ladies are not wholly unaware as to the dignified manner in which he gained his retrest, and-well, he'd rather face a thousand belching gunS-Nhich he has discovered to be harmless-than march up under those sparkling eyes, and be right about faces and tries to hile his diminished head m the smoke which envelcps the plain--We esi Point Cor.

The sta-e nm Miniature.

The Parisians have hit on a new ilea in cafes chantants. The spectator Is first intro duced into a pretty cafe, carpetad, elegantly furnished and lighted with cas Gi,amei by blue glass, which glves a s1ft and mysterious appearance to the surroundings. From this drawing room cafe one is introduced into an other room-or rather sort of passage or Eallery-perfectly dark, along which are ar- ranged comfortable chairs. Seated in one of these. the spectator finds before him long ledge. into which are set framed pieces of glass. one before each person. These pisces of glass are about a foot square. Looking closely, one sees in the ElaSs the exact repre- sentation of the stage Of a theatre, the seen cry. curtains, etC. Presently the orchestra strikes up and the performance begins. Upon this miniature stage appears a minia- ture performer-three and a half inches high-whO sings and dances in the usual cafe chantant style
 This little figure, and. indeed, the stage itself, is simply the reduced copy thrown by some arrangements of lights and reflection upon the glass We are watchlngl of an actuel stage and an actual performer who iS singing on the other side of the partition. We hear with perfect distinctness every word m the natural voice of the singer. Only his figure is reduced. Every expression, every color, the slightest jeweis-even down 10 the rings upon the fingers-are reproduced in the fig ures three and half inches m height Every facial expression may be seen as clearly as though one were looking upon the real Ter former. An excellent variety performance and concert are gwen m this way, the singers, jugglers and dancers all being in miniature There are fifty-siX reproductions of the stage made in the manner described, and only fifty-six persons can see the per formance at one time, 50 that each has, in fact, a little stage all to himself The man. agement have sixty artists altogether, in cludinz some of the best known in Paris Comic songs, dances. duets from well known operas. juggling, dancing, etc, are given, and. if required, an entire play or opera might be performed Boston Transcript

Native Cookery fin Egypt.

spoke just now of living in comfort; but the term is relative. To the last l could never abide the native cookery. My lunch and dinner were brought in a circular wooden tray, which tall, white robed Arab carried on his head: the tray was covered with n great straw dome. beneath which rested five ST six small round dishes, while over it was spread an embroidered covering. Sometimes ii would happen that the dishes contained e.iible food. and on bright particular occa- sions even a pleasant repast; but far more often. as dish after dish was set before me, l dismissed it with a wave of the hand and n -shiI- take it away to my servant Then If Ihad time. or if 1t were not too insufferably hot. would go to the hotel; but many and many a time my dinner consisted of SIX -shils- followed by some dry biscuits. The wine, however, was excellent Most of tho officials Of the palace ns-Ssed together except the few who always sat down with the khe- dive. But as the mess was very promlscuous, and included some with whom did not care to associate with as equals, refused to join ii. The khedive's orders were that my table should be the same as his own; of course they were not carried out But 1t was wiser not to complain in such a matter.-~Court Lus in Egypt

The Robbers.

For the present the pursuit of the train robbers IS virtually over. Sheriff 6hibsn snd his entire posse came in last night having failed with one of the best trailers, Jesus Ma. Elias, to ferret out the direction taken by the robbers. The entire country contiguous to Pan tano was closely scrutinized, but yield ed no secrets ss to the whereabouts of the thieves. The last signs noted were those seen on Friday night; these were obliterated by the rain. and sll clues to the direction taken by the thieves van ished with them.
 The cave. when again examined, ylAld- ed but little new evidence, although the floor was dug up to the depth of foot or more. A torpedo. with cap attached, vas the ouiy thmg of interest unesrthed. The cave, which in fact IS nothing more than . great shelving rock. appears to have been occupied at intervals, from 8 remote period, ss ike entire floor is made up of charcoal and ashes. From it's mouth . magnificent view of the coun- try below is to be obtained. 'Pantano and the railroad track for miles either way are plainly visible. Shlbsll has DO doubt but that the robbers were at the cave, and from this coign of vantage saw the pursuit begin, and as the posse ap. prosched thelr hiding place they leisure ly betook their way up the mountain.
 The posse arrived at the cave at S:30 on the morning of the robbery, having driven fast and furious along the plain ly visible trall, from the railroad to where it turned from shs canyon to She cave. 'So sure," says Smbell, "were we of ovsrtaking the robbers that I would not have given a nickel to anyone to en- sure me their capture"
 The failure, however, to bring in their men dstrsotsd nothing from the work doas by the sheriff and his posse They shnked no risk, left no stone unturned, or danger unbrayed that promised them success in their perilOus undertaking Detective Len Harris ss one of the party, is likewise to be congratulated.
 She soldiers detailed by Major Moves to aid in pursuing the robbers. won the admiration of everyone by the earnest ness of their work. Among the detach- msnt were several excellent trsilers, and all are commended as brave and active men. Phil Crovst worked with the trail CTS. ana was 6 full, all-round hand at Ghe business. Taken altogether. brsver better party never hunted robbers. and If not crowned with success it was no fault of theirs.

Three Men and Three Horses shot Down
 in a Fight at ronte B-si-,
 About . week since several cowboys, who hsd been in the employ of the Aztec Land | Cattle Company. left Holbrook, where the headquarters of the company are, and went south to- wards Tonto Basin to a place called Nevton's ranch. While there they heard snsi An old rsnchmsp, named Blevins. living on Canon Greek, had been miss i0s for two or three weeks and the resi- dents of the neighborhoOd suspected foul play. The boys went over to a rsnchman named Graham, and being join ed by four men at thst place, making eight ID all. they went ID search ot the missing man. The next day they reach- ed the residence of one Of the Tewkes- bury's in Tonto Basin, and went up to the place to make some inquiries re- gardirg the man they were In search of. A woman came to the door snd stated that none of the men were in, and after few words had passed, the elgh. horsemen turned 10 leave the place. They had scarcely begun to move away, when 6 volley was fired from the win dows of the house. Two men fell dead from their saddles, John Payne and K. M. Gillespie. and third, G. T. Tucker was shot through the body. the ball en- tering bis left side. Three horses were also killed by the same volley. The men could not tell who their sssailants were, and, and ss the enemy were com pletely protected, the remaining six of tue party could do nothing but ride away ont of the range of the deadly weapons, leaving the dead men and horses on the ground. They made their way to Grsham's as rapidly ss they could with the wounded man Tucker, but be died before they reached the ranch.
 From information brought by man who left Graham's ranch on Wednesday 6 party had started from there to recov- CT the dead bodies of Payne and Gillis pie. To do SO they would have to go within thirty yards of the house. Nc information of thIs expedition has been heard. bat it is feared that further bloodshed may have ensued.-Flsgstaf 0hamDion

The Hebrew in America.

His dispersion has been powerful stimulus to his activity, and given him a strength that has deied time and cir oumstsnce. The poor. footsore emi- grant, greeted with scorn and ooloquy. has his compensation in his descendsnte, who belong to the sristOcrscy of wealth, culture and position. Will America ln- fiusnce its Jewish population, as unde- nisbly it has been influenced m other landsf The American spirit IS already at work, but not in Jewry only; all oreeds feel the effect of American condl- tions, The foreigner arrives here with his trsdItionsl stock of ussRes-Rood, bad and indifferent-his lares and pen stss, from insignificant towns abroad. These soon lose their interest and im- portsnce as he acquires wealth and an American culture. The second gener- stion regards them with coldness; the third of almost ignorant of their mean ing.

NEKCHANT>' MEETING.

There was . very small attendance last
the city hall There were quite q number Of
ledge meeting il tho city aud other enter-
talnments which il thought to explain, In
part, the fact that 80 few put in An appear
ance.
There seems to be- no doubt, judging from
expressions from number OF business men,
that the movement is a popular one growing
out Of necessity. All, when an opinion Is
asked, reply readily, that the merchants OF
the city ought to unite and thus lend
each other valuable information ia q
number OF directions. They say they are
badly imposed on by ms mbers Of tbs dead
beat class. He will gradually work himself
INTO the confidence of a merchant and faally
hesitate to pay asking little t.as. The
credit side becomes larger aud larger until
the dead beat HES himself away, very indig
nant, and plays the same game on the neigh
Dor merchant
One Of the objects OF the association is TO
have list OF dead beats handed each mer-
chant once q month aud will credit no ore
whose name can there be found IL lad
should come in and ask for credit and on in
ve.tigation the list shows that he owes another
merchant he will be isformed OF that fact
and gently given the bounce
Another subject IT the association will Be
to deal with the freight question and lend
assistance and do all ia their power to aid
the board Of trade to secure low rats.
Nothing Of . permanent nature WAS trans
acted Lass night. The various phases OF the
questions that interest the msrchsnss ca ling

'sTILL THE VILLAIN" &.

The announcement OF the fact that o new
addition had been started in the river just
south of the Douglas avenue bridys, in yes
Those most interested it seemed were those
who had an eye to the welfare of the city
and hated to Sc. parties who had not, doing
as they choose in matter which was of 50
dangerous character to the city. The hurt
Ing part was tina they acted purely from
fish motives and ha no care concerning
the city.
W lille the matter is being examined and a
modus operandi decided upon by city attor
ny and council committee tho work is pro-
crossing rapidly. The agitation 80 far, Of
the subject, SET ms to have given new impetus
and infused new vigor into tnose
who are determined to act for self alone.
They, if possible, drive piles faster and en-
ploy more teams in making territory than
before. II q councilman or city official
wa ks down in that neighborhood to view
the situation he is looked upon in q sneering
sort of way, as if to say like to know what
you are going to do about it." That's the
question that agitates the visitor and he
turns back with determination to do some
thing farther to protect tho city. In talk
ing to a member of the council last night he
was moro determined in the matter than
ever. He thought. Of course, with the many,
that the addition builders should be stopped
and he would not stop agitation until the
hand Of some law would throttle the chaps
and make them let up.
In . conversation with business
gentleman yesterday he became very
much interested and declared that the city
ought to place no man in the council who
would himself be one Of the most active ad-
dition builders in the city. He referred to the
time whom an ordinance last winter was in
troduced to tho city council for stopping such
work and was defeated by some members in
the body who acted, a. he claimed, purely
through selh, b motives and then went OF in
to great 'guffaw" over the defeat. For o
man to be maksng los and thus endangeriDg
the city's future, he thought, was queer
combination and should be fred out Of camp
As soon q possible and allowed to explode.

STONE YARD,

L. P. Sauty Of Clements, il in the city and
is making prepa, atoms to open q stone yard
in the city. The firm Of Sanity & Co. Of the
Acme lime stone quarries, is familiar one
with contractors generally throughout the
western country. Their business in ship
meuis amounts to three hundred car loa 10
per month and their trade reaches to Omaha,
Kansas City. St. Louis and even to New
Mexico. The superior qu, Atty Of the stone
for strength and durability makes the de-
mand very great. The stone for tho Carey
hotel came from these quarries. Sheir yards
will be located on the Santa Fe track. where
they will have an Office. The firm does not
take contracts for building, but make a spec
iaity in the execution Of plans. Orders FOR
stone, large or small, rough or dressed, will
be filled promptly.
This is ore more industry to our city which
will employ a number Of laborers and arti-
sans, with their derricks and machinery of
different kinds for handling aud working in
stone
